You've never, ever, thought in your life that you'd be a wife of a hero someday.
For all you've known of yourself, you're only a kindergarten teacher living by a rundown dormitory building before. But when Mirai came into your life, you no longer live alone in a dormitory building but live with him on you two's new home.
You have already asked yourself as to why the man liked you, you're not even funny to begin with! You're quiet most of the time but get snarky when you're being disturbed. You can never bring a smile to his face just as how he'd want it to be. Well, that's what you think so, at least.
" I'm not afraid to confess that I can see my future with you, (name). I have courted you for years, have I not? You know my feelings do not lie. " The guy, yet again, was by your class' door before you can even gather your things to go home.
He's that persistent, he wasn't exaggerating the years by the way.
You sighed out as you pressed onto your temple to ease the stress you felt for the day, " Can't believe you found your future empty. Please Sir, not today. You can come by when I decide it's best to see you. "
" And when is that? "
" Never. "
Sasaki can only find humor in jokes. Not in comebacks, and that's what he had acknowledged since way back.
He had not once thought that irritating retorts would've been funny if it weren't for you. It happened way back when he was dropping by a local store and you happened to be there– a customer came by just to spat his judgment over Sasaki's appearance which pissed you off to the bone.
" Man, your built's way too sharp and skinny. How you holdin' up a night with a girl? " The customer laughed away yet Sasaki noted that it wasn't really worth the act to reply and so he ignored him.
But you didn't. " Kid, you can't even hold up a night with a girl– how low are you going to stoop just to hear an experience? Sheesh. "
That day, Sasaki laughed from an excellent comeback for the first time. And not laughed from a joke. That's why from that day on as well, he decided to marry you.
To hear that reason from him, you completely tried to avoid him at all cost. Marriage is not an easy topic, doesn't mean you made the guy laugh it'd end up with marriage. If that was the case, you would've gotten married more than once now.
Well, let's just think you're funny enough.
But as time comes by, the reasons for marrying you kept on increasing. Sasaki would confess from time to time about how his heart beats really fast whenever he sees you or whenever he wakes up another day to realize he has the opportunity to see you again.
He's a closet romantic, it was cute
Your attention went back to what chore you're currently doing which is the laundry. You brought the newly washed t–shirt of your husband towards your chest. It can't be helped that he's out working while you're on your weekend break, he runs an agency after all. But it can't be helped that you missed him too.
You piled all the clothes in the basket with a plan to fold them inside your home. You prioritized the washed sheets as you hung them up, you added clips on either side so it wouldn't fall. Stepping back, you were about to grab the basket you stuck the clothes inside of from earlier when arms surrounded your waist from behind– scaring you.
" The hell–! "
" I'm home.. " The exhausted voice of your husband shouldn't soothe your current shocking state but it did anyway, he needed some rest after all this time. So, holding up your supposed to be anger from the shock you felt, you turned to face him. " Okaeri. You're quite early today, uhh scratch that– you're very much early. It's still noon? "
" I am not feeling quite well today, I was guessing I needed some vitamin you. " You held back a laugh, recently, this guy has been dropping cheeky lines that you have just the idea where he had picked up from.
You broke free from his embrace, " Did Mirio teach you that or have you seen it from Pinterest? "
Sasaki remained silent, his eyes remained on yours as he delved deep into the moment's sensation. He missed you twice as to how you missed him, he loved you way too deeply after all. " I–.. I am so glad I'm home. "
His response caught you off–guard, it wasn't like him to express his gratitude. He is thankful but he merely says it, so now that you hear him speak about it, it flustered you. " I'm glad you're home too, I wanted to spend time with you, you know? "
" So do I. "
You let your head fall on his chest as you slowly slid your hands around his waist. It had been so long since you two have spent time together much less hug anymore. You go off to school before he wakes up and then he comes back from work when you're already sleeping. It was difficult but you two loved each other the same.
" Let's cuddle more after we eat. The rice cakes my sister sent me finally arrived so I made tteokbokki, is that fine? "
" If I may, would it not be better to cuddle first before we eat? "
